Village Turns Down Town House Plan

May 18, 1989

Tinley Park officials have rejected plans for construction of 27 town houses in the Brementowne Villa development, saying the proposed design was not the ``upscale`` type of development the village wants.

``There is nothing upscale about this (design) as far as I am concerned,`` Trustee Pat Rea said Tuesday in asking the Village Board to reject the plan. ``It is not equal to or better than what is already there.`` The development has about 150 town houses, some of which were built 20 years ago. The new plans called for an additional 27 town houses at Brementowne Drive and 163d Street, ranging in price from $80,000 to $90,000.

The trustees, voting 5-0 against the proposal, expressed concern about room sizes, the developer`s intent to build one-car garages and the quality of the site`s soil.
